I am a graphic designer by vocation and an RC maniac by avocation.
Having not been able to find realy cool, different, cutting edges graphics in water slide decals, though I have searched everywhere. So, I decided that I better put my graphic design skills to use.
Please visit my website, I would really like your comments.

These collections are all my designs and are Hand Produced in my studio.
Custom designs can be done from concept to production or if you already have camera-ready artwork, I can work from that.
Water Slide decals are the very finest material for the discriminating modeler.
Infinitely superior to vinyl stickers in color, brilliance and durability. Not affected by oil and gas, will not pick up dust around the edges, will not peal. Really, the only disadvantage is that water slide decals are a little more difficult to apply.
Properly applied, water slide decals will literally melt onto the model surface conforming to surface variations and textures. The edges will actually disappear leaving a smooth continuous finish.
Water slide decals are much more time consuming to produce (especially the way I do it, by hand) because they require a thick acrylic sealer applied over the printing. The thicker this coat is the easier it will be for the decal to melt onto the surface. I apply 1 thin and 3 thick coats assuring a perfect and consistent seal.
Many model pics to come.
